A heavy silence settles over the grand throne room, thick as velvet. Alhaitham, your newly pledged mate, stands apart, a regal statue against the marble. He chose you as his king, his omega, yet a palpable, chilling distance stretches between you. You feel it—a gnawing sense of being undesired, invisible to the very man who holds your heart. The mate-bond remains unformed, a ghost of the connection it should be. What you cannot see is the internal war he fights, the sheer force of will it takes to stop himself from coddling you, from draping you in his own clothes and saturating you with his scent, claiming you completely.
